Many names familiar to those close to the drag-racing world had careers that were launched from this track, including Ronnie Sox, Herb McCandless, and Jake King.

The documentary release will be through Amazon Prime Video and Vimeo On-Demand on June 21, 2018 exactly 65 years to the day of the first race at Fairchild Airport. There will also be a Premiere at Burlington’s historic Paramount Theater on August 18, 2018. Tickets for this event can be purchased from the box office.
